Los Angeles Lakers (32-19) and Utah Jazz will go head-to-head in the second of the two-game series. Los Angeles are 3-0 in the regular-season series against Utah after a 132-113 win on Monday. The Jazz, who kick off a nine-game homestand, have won two of their last three home games.

Los Angeles are on a six-game winning run and they are strong unit after the inclusion of Luka Doncic, who made his highly-anticipated debut on Monday. The five-time All-Star was acquired from the Mavericks for Anthony Davis in a blockbuster trade.

Luka Doncic was on the minutes restriction by JJ Redick and played for 24 minutes. The former Mavericks star tallied 14 points, five rebounds and four assists on his NBA return after seven weeks.

Luka is likely to play his second game for the Lakers on Wednesday but will be on minutes restrictions. The 25-year-old guard has just recovered from left calf injury, sustained on the Christmas Day during Mavericks’ loss against the Timberwolves.

Apart from Luka Doncic, LeBron James’ status has been upgraded to probable after an ankle soreness during the Lakers’ home win against the Jazz. Austin Reaves is also clear to play and is listed as probable.

Bronny James remains questionable due to a left forearm muscle strain. Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle), Maxi Klener (foot), Cam Reddish (personal) and Gabe Vincent (knee) remain out. Christian Wood has been waived after acquiring Alex Len for center position.
